Report: Israel Preparing to Use Tactical Nukes Against Iran

HeadlineJan 08, 2007

Israel has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons, this according to the Times of London. The paper is reporting that two Israeli Air Force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters.” The attack would be the first with nuclear weapons since 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-15th of the Hiroshima bomb. The Israeli Foreign Ministry denied the report.
